Ideal Concepts Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Applied through a job portal and got shortlisted. A recruiter called and outlined the process: first, a 75-minute coding assessment, followed by a 2-hour book knowledge assessment where I was asked basic things like how to cc an email. Then, another 20-minute recruiter call. Finally, a 110-minute technical interview with three people (likely manager, lead, architect). During this last interview, I solved two live coding questions, explained my algorithms, and time complexity, and even discussed an alternative approach when asked. Despite feeling good about the interview, I was rejected. I advise others to avoid this company as it seems they are using interviews to promote a new product launch, asking candidates to search the company online and post about it.

I applied via campus career day and it took about a month to hear back with the final result. The first step was a phone interview where I had to introduce myself and set up a time for the technical assessment. This assessment was administered through software and lasted for 2.5 hours. It included IQ testing and short-term memory tasks, so I'd advise getting good sleep the night before. There were two sections focused on Java, each with 20-30 multiple-choice questions and a time limit of 20-30 minutes per section. All questions covered basic and conceptual Java topics.

Worst interview process ever, a total waste of time and they give false info. Seems like they're just collecting rejections. HR said 2 rounds: 2-hour Assessment and then a Manager interview. But the first assessment was actually 3.5 hours and covered everything from face to toe. After that, HR called again for ANOTHER assessment, also 2 hours. Finally, the 'final interview' with the manager turned out to be with 3 interviewers and lasted 2 hours, with really difficult questions. They give false hope, don't waste your time.
